Floofy

I enjoyed reading your guesses as to Lucy’s weight — they really ran the gamut from tiny to huge! Of course, it’s impossible for you all to accurately guess her weight based on photos, so this was very much a game of chance.

Lucy is a tiny girl underneath all that floof. She weighs only 7.7 pounds. And only one of you guessed her exact weight: Leslie.

To recap, I knit this from a worsted weight handspun created and given to me by The KnitGirllls. I used a U.S. size 6 (4mm) needle and got a gauge of 5 st/inch in the k1 tbl, p2 pattern. I cast on 90 stitches and followed the instructions for the increases, which gave me 150 stitches. I worked as directed through Row 11 of the decreases for the crown (and had 30 stitches remaining), then I worked as follows:

I was glad to see that Lucy only weighed 7.7. My sweet companion who is now almost 19 years old only weighs 5.7. She is a very small kitty to begin with, and I have worried about her weight. But I have seen my mother lose a lot of weight as she aged (88!) so maybe my kitty is aging the same way.

Well, you sure fooled me. I guessed 14.something. She sure must be all fluffy fur and she is so beautiful, I love her colors. Can anyone help me with suggestions on handling tendinitis and rotator cuff inflammation? I can’t seem to get “rid” of it. I’m not icing as often as I should – I suppose that is what I’m suppose to be doing? Thanks.

My guys, Mopti and Malawi- pictured at the bottom of my post “new yarn”, both thinks Lucy is perfect just the way she is, and sends their love. Mopti sais he knows all about being floofy Bodil E´s last blog post ..New Yarn

My Ragdoll Izzy is not so much floofy as he is “big-boned”. He weighs in at 18 pounds. He had a lion cut for summer last year (I hated to do it, but I was going down to defeat by the floof floating around my house and the incessant hairballs he was horking up) and there wasn’t nearly as much cat under that fur as I had expected. The eighteen pounds was pre-haircut, by the way.

I figured she was small, but didn’t realize she was smaller than my 8 lb. kitty. So dainty! Love the hat — seriously love it — colors, pattern, everything. Must make one!Mary´s last blog post ..Rest in peace- Mom

I am sorry, I guessed way to high, no offense Lucy. I live with several cats and they weight anywhere from 10lbs to 15lbs and none of them are fat. Your long fur did indeed fool me. Love and hugs, LaVelle and the cats
